"There is a waterfall...that all mychildhood counted dear," wrote Yeats
of the silver stream that tumbles into Glencar Lough, County Leitrim, Ireland in his famous Stolen Child poem.
GlencarLake is nestled at the foot of Benbulben off the main road to Manorhamilton. The area has remained untouched in the last forty years. The main feature of the area, besides the lake itself, is the picturesque Glencar Waterfall. Springing out of the very side of Benbulben, the waterfall is neither very tall, nor very wide, yet it captivates and holds every person that visits.
A rather modest stream forms an imprissive cascade which can be viewed from a delightful wooded walk where toilets and picnic facilities are provided. There is access to the waterfall for disabled persons.
